The Math Question
35
Implications of Math

• Three Pathways
• Apprenticeship and Workplace Mathematics
  designed to provide students with the
  mathematical understandings and critical-thinking
  skills identified for entry into the majority of
  trades and for direct entry into the work force.
  NO UNIVERSITY WILL TAKE THIS MATH FOR ENTRANCE
  but many trades , certificate or diploma programs
  in career oriented programs will! DO YOUR
  RESEARCH
• Foundations of Mathematics (11 note 12 level not
  offered next year) designed to provide
  students with the mathematical understandings and
  critical-thinking skills identified for
  post-secondary studies in programs that do not
  require the study of theoretical calculus. Some
  universities will accept Foundations in arts
  programs etc. (i.e. SFU) students must
  CAREFULLY review individual university admissions
  requirements/program specific requirements to
  ensure there chosen math will meet admission to
  their program of choice
• Pre-calculus - designed to provide students with
  the mathematical understandings and
  critical-thinking skills identified for entry
  into post-secondary programs that require the
  study of theoretical calculus. NEEDED FOR ALL
  UNIVERSITY SCIENCE PROGRAMS please note Math
  11 requirements may have a minimum score ie. SFU
  requires 60 some PROGRAMS may require higher
  minimum scores in math 11 and 12 again
  students must consult Post Sec. admissions
  requirements to ensure they are aware of math
  requirements for their chosen field of study.
